Question 1 of 5

A nurse is reviewing the laboratory results of a client who has a pressure ulcer. The nurse should identify an elevation in which of the following laboratory values as an indication that the client has developed an infection?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: WBC count. An elevation in WBC count indicates an immune response to infection, as white blood cells increase to fight off pathogens. In the context of a pressure ulcer, an elevated WBC count suggests the presence of infection due to the body's response to foreign organisms. Other choices are not directly related to infection in this scenario. Serum albumin level (
A) reflects nutritional status, serum potassium level (
C) indicates electrolyte balance, and BUN (
D) reflects kidney function. Hence, they are not specific indicators of infection in a client with a pressure ulcer.
